    People who have kept more snakes than you, longer than you, and especially those who keep large constrictors have confirmed that tank aggression is a myth, and the consensus in the hobby is that in-tank feeding is safer for the hobbyist (and as a by-product, nervous and sensitive snakes are more likely to eat in their own enclosure). You are giving information based on what seems to be pretty limited experience, and it is incorrect information. The OP deserves to know that the consensus in the hobby is that in-cage feeding is the way to go, and moving to a feed tank is unnecessary.

    No offense, but your experience seems to be somewhat limited in time, research, and number of animals kept (and yes, number of animals kept does have some bearing on experience). I'm guessing by context in your other posts, but you're in high school correct? You would do well to actually listen to people on here and read through some past threads to see what people who have been keeping BPs longer than you've been alive have to say about certain topics.
    Not everything everyone expresses is an 'opinion'; much of the time it is based on extensive research and experience.
    Also, to be clear, I'm not talking about myself. I would consider myself quite knowledgeable with some of the species I keep, but I'm relatively new to BPs. None of the information I've given in this thread is based solely on my own experience, but from research, and the advice of others who have decades of experience keeping BPs and other constrictors.

    EDIT: Reading comprehension fail. My page refreshed with your reply, but I didn't notice Pit had also replied and assumed you were replying to my post.
